Heat Wave

I am officially oh so over this heatwave that is gripping Adelaide, we are onto our 4th (or is it 5th?) consecutive day with temperatures peaking in excess of 40 degrees.

Thank goodness we have aircon! And although it is struggling it is doing a great job and I would be utterly lost without it.
However what I wouldn't give to be able to open all the curtains, blinds and windows to let in fresh air and light. That will not be happening for at least another week as temperatures are still going to be howevering in the high 30's for at least that long.

I am starting to feel quite down as I don't do homebody very well. I need to get out quite regularly for my sanity. However I don't always choose to do this, I am quite happy staying home, however when the choice to go out is removed (such as car trouble, heat etc) that is when I pine. During this awful heat though I will not take Lily out unless absolutely necessary, it is just not fair on her.

I did however today manage 2 trips to Spotlight while Lily was napping. (2 because I got everything besides what I originally went there for in the first trip!) Cameron stayed at home with Lily while she slept.

However I don't know why I bother going out by myself because I spend the whole time worrying, stressing and missing my baby girl and can't wait to get home to her!

Thankfully Lily still seems to be coping well with the heat. Not sleeping quite as well through the day, and a little more grizzly in general, but aren't we all having to deal with this heat!
I am feeding her more frequently than usual (I didn't know that was possible) as I am paranoid that she will dehydrate.

Lily has a new toy which she seems to love. It is a pair of Maraccas, they are SOO gorgeous! Also a great size for her to grip and play with quite well, apart from the fact they always seem to end up in her mouth!
So tonight while stuck at home in the heat I am dreaming of building this house in the mild Blue Mountains. (I'm not sure if they are always mild, however they were when I visited!)

What a clever little treasure holding her rattle.

Love the house - I say build it... (good luck on winning lotto hehe) and I'll come up and stay and the girls can play... nothing like inviting myself over!

Thanks for your comments in my blog xx

If I can somehow work out a way to source land and build the house you will be the first to receive an invite.

I think you deserve nothing more than to relax in luxury such as that. xo
